STOCKTON - A man required medical treatment early Tuesday after being beaten with his own stick, authorities said.

The 44-year-old victim told police he was walking near West Oak and North Monroe streets about 2 a.m. when three men walked up, took the long stick he was carrying and accused him of trying to sneak up on them. One of the men then used the stick to hit the victim repeatedly in the head and face, causing several lacerations, officers said.

The assailants fled in an unknown direction. They were described as men in their 30s, authorities said.

The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, but he became uncooperative and refused to provide officers with further information, police said.
